Switching electrical CC filters with an
assignable switch
You can assign the function that
switches between electrical CC filters to
an assignable switch. This allows you
to switch between color temperatures
(3200K/4300K/5600K/6300K) that have been
assigned using up to four positions (A to D)
with each press of the assignable switch.

Select Maintenance >White Filter in the
setup menu.

Select the position to which to assign a CC
filter by selecting one of [Electrical CC<A>]
to [Electrical CC <D>], and then turn the
MENU knob to select the desired color
temperature.
Select "-----" with Electrical CC<C> or <D>
selected.
When the assignable switch is pressed,
the setting for that position is not
displayed. For example, if "-----" is set for
one position, then switching between the
remaining three positions is carried out.

Assign the electrical CC filter switching
function (ELECTRICAL CC) to an assignable
switch (page 122).
White balance memory
Values stored in memory are held until the
white balance is next adjusted, even if the
camcorder power is turned off.
The camcorder has two white balance
memories, A and B. You can automatically
save adjustment values for each ND filter in
the memory that corresponds to the WHITE
BAL switch setting (A or B). The camcorder
has four built-in ND filters, allowing you to
save a total of eight adjustment values (4×2).
However, the contents of the memories are
not linked to ND filter settings in the following
case.
ˎ When the number of memories allocated to
ˎ
each of A and B is limited to one by setting
Operation >White Setting >Filter White
Memory in the setup menu to Off.
Also, when Operation >White Setting >White
Switch<B> in the setup menu is set to [ATW
(Auto Tracing White Balance)], and the WHITE
BAL switch is set to B, the ATW function is
activated to automatically adjust the white
balance of the picture being shot for varying
lighting conditions.
